Thanks for posting. I watched the “10,958 Problem” and the solution videos. He is so personable, happy and excited about numbers — just fun to watch.

Oh, I thought it was the negative IQ of Alexandria O-CORTEZ.
I took high school pre-calculus with a guy who never showed his work. It was a matter of pride with him.
I garnered multiple math awards, and was voted Most Intelligent, but I could not do it all in my head.
I excelled in physics and other courses, unlike him, but his mental math skills were impressive.
This was a private Christian school with small elective classes; there was no concern about cheating. Everyone, including the teacher, knew the guy did it all then and there.
It did mean he could not get any partial credit - but he never needed partial credit.
True. He's what you want in a teacher. Especially with a subject like math, which could be super dry.
I’m not sure anybody could make hyperbolic trigonometry fun. But I’d like to see him try.
I don’t get it...
Glad you liked it. It came up in the related vids in the YouTube app on my Roku, and it was unfamiliar, so I sort of had to click it. :^)
Well, I did expect that the mention of "concatenation" would cause the posting of images of Siamese cats.
Wow, that one made my head hurt.
